Just like food and beauty products, we invest a lot on our diets and skincare routines to make sure we are living in the most optimal health state, but how often do you consider the air quality and what's polluting your air? 

Here are few stats:

1. 90 percent of the air that goes into your lungs is indoor air.

2. 5x U.S. EPA studies found that indoor air pollutants were generally two to five times greater than outdoor pollution levels. In some cases, indoor air pollution was 100 times greater.

3. Nearly 25 million people in the U.S. suffer from asthma.

4. Up to 30 percent of adults have allergies.

5. About 40,000 droplets of the flu virus are in a typical sneeze. The smaller droplets can shoot out at 100 miles per hour and may remain suspended in the air for hours or days.

When it comes to looking for the best air purifiers, know what to look for. 

Types of filters:
